Chapter 217 Inhumanity
When the family gets together, the conversations don't have much of a New Year atmosphere, and usually the conversation turns to business.
When Lou Jingtai discussed the layoff issue of Lou Group with Lou Wangyun, there were many relatives in Lou Group who were just sitting there doing nothing, and as a junior, Lou Jingtai couldn't make the decision on his own.
The relationships in the Lou Group are not as simple as those in the other three groups. There are a lot of messy relatives, most of whom have low abilities and act like elders from time to time.
Lou Jingtai's father, Lou Hanting, was a man who was easily influenced by others. When he was in charge of the group, many distant relatives tried to ask for a position from him.
Lou Hanting and his wife died in a car accident. His ambitious elder brother Lou Hanxiao tried to seize power, and the relatives in the group became the primary targets for winning over.
The relatives who are quick-witted and only want to gain benefits are like the rotten meat under the feet of a giant beast in the Lou family. Although they are not enough to shake the group, they will always hinder the development of the group.
The plan to cut off the rotten flesh had been in place since Lou Jingtai took over the group. Now that the time had come to take action, he still had to inform the elders.
From the current hidden dangers of the Lou Group to the aftermath after eliminating useless relatives, the grandfather and grandson spent nearly two hours planning.
During this period, Jiang Xiao and Zhuang Yuhuan also analyzed the situation, while Ran Feng kept looking at the time.
Yu Jiang's normal dinner time is from five to six o'clock, and it is already seven o'clock.
Although there were snacks and pastries on the coffee table, Yu Jiang's current weight had just reached the director's expectations, so she would definitely not touch such high-sugar food.
Seeing that Yu Jiang had subconsciously begun to hold her stomach, Ran Feng leaned close to her ear and asked, "What time do you guys eat?"
Seeing his worried look, Yu Jiang smiled and said, "They usually don't have the habit of eating a proper meal, let alone talking about work."
Ran Feng didn't understand, how could someone not be interested in eating? If he didn't have to control his body shape, he would definitely eat delicious food for every meal.
He turned around and motioned for the nanny who had been standing behind him to come over, "Could you please get Yu Jiang a glass of soda water?"
The nanny was stunned for a moment by the name "Yu Jiang" before she responded, "Okay."
Yu Jiang was taught not to reveal his preferences, so even though she thought drinking soda water would relieve her stomachache, she never asked for it.
No one even knew that she had stomach problems, and she asked that her medical records at Dongshan Hospital be kept confidential.
After a while, the nanny handed her the soda water. "Mr. Jiang, your soda water."
"Thank you." Yu Jiang took the water and took a sip, but the stomachache did not get relieved.
Another half an hour passed, and Ran Feng couldn't help but interrupt their conversation, "Grandma Lou, when are we going to eat?"
It was also the first time that he took the initiative to ask for a meal while being someone's guest. Ran Feng smiled embarrassedly and his face turned red after he said it.
Lou Wangyun apologized, "It's my fault. Xiao Ke, go and get ready."
It will be ready in no time. The chefs in the manor are all experienced and the meal can be served in just ten minutes.
Finally, Yu Jiang had the damn salad and vegetable soup more than two hours after the usual dinner time.
Ran Feng, whose focus had always been on his girlfriend, felt that she was much more reserved than usual. He observed the other people at the table and realized something was wrong.
The rule of not talking while eating or sleeping is perfectly reflected on this dining table. Everyone's dining manners seem to be cast in the same mold.
Even the dandy young men who looked so lazy on variety shows now act like European aristocrats.
Among them, except Lou Wangyun who learned the habit from his parents and Yu Xianning who specially hired a teacher after marriage, the rest of them all learned from the same teacher.
Yinglian Yu Jiang’s alma mater is an aristocratic school funded by several families. Her peers, including her parents, have all studied there to some extent, so it is reasonable that their actions are similar.
Ran Feng seemed out of place here. He even slowed down his movements when cutting the steak for fear of making noise. He ate like a thief.
After all, it is New Year’s Eve. Even if there is no festive atmosphere, we still have to stay up and eat the New Year’s Eve dinner.
After dinner, Yu Jiang wanted to take Ran Feng for a walk around the house, and Lou Wangyun said, "Yu Yu, grandma will keep your old room for you. Can you sleep in your own room at night?"
Yu Jiang nodded and took Ran Feng upstairs in the elevator.
Her room is on the fourth floor. Except for two rooms which are the nanny's rooms, the entire rest of the floor is her area.
Since Yu Jiang left, nothing on the fourth floor of the manor has changed except for daily cleaning.
Opposite the elevator is Yu Jiang’s exclusive reception room. Unlike the magnificent pure European-style decoration downstairs, the reception room and corridor are entirely black, white and gray.
Ran Feng exclaimed: "You like this color when you were so young?"
Yu Jiang patted the sofa in the living room and said, "I changed it after returning to China. Sometimes I meet my subordinates here."
The reception room is divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms. The inner room was Yu Jiang's childhood office, which has a similar style to the outer room.
There was still a pile of documents and materials that she had used before on the bookshelf. Yu Jiang felt like vomiting when he saw them, so he quickly took Ran Feng to visit the next room.
On the left is the nanny's area, which includes a tea room, a wine cabinet, and the live-in nanny's room, so Yu Jiang didn't go there.
The first room on the right is the bathroom, and Yu Jiang walked over without even mentioning it.
The door of the bathroom was open, and the interior maintained the overall style of the manor, a standard European retro style.
Opposite was Yu Jiang's cloakroom. Ran Feng was stunned when he entered. It was understandable that the living room was a little bigger, but the cloakroom was almost bigger than his living room!
Seeing his stunned look, Yu Jiang thought he was shocked by the girl's fan, and said a little embarrassedly: "My aunt made it for me. I have to experience the suffering she suffered when she was a child."
The clothes were all in the size that Yu Jiang wore when he was a child. Ran Feng looked around but didn't see any familiar brands, but he felt that the style of the clothes seemed a little familiar.
"The clothes you wore as a child were too mature. They looked like a brand I endorsed."
Yu Jiang nodded, "Maybe it's because my usual designer Valentina works for the brand you endorse."
Ran Feng pursed his lips helplessly. Valentina, the brand's chief designer, specially drew pictures and made clothes for Yu Jiang when he was a child. It seemed that all her designs were one-of-a-kind pieces.
"You are so rich and inhumane. I don't even have a global endorsement, but you have been using your designer since I was a child."
Ran Feng, who always wears branded first-hand goods, couldn't help but complain. He didn't know how his girlfriend adapted to the online shopping clothes she was wearing.
The next bedroom was no longer interesting to Ran Feng, as it was still too big to consider the housing prices in Beijing.
The pure European-style princess room, with its exaggerated girlish pink and various cute little furniture, is the place with the most homely atmosphere in the entire building.
